I am trying to setup ELK on my local machine.  
I successfully installed elastic search and kibana.  
But during installation of logstash I am getting error.  
Below is the terminal logs.  
I tried a lot but It is not working.  
Any suggestion?

Thanks for help.

It looks like the installation of logstash was successful. The output you posted shows that logstash was installed again .  
`Unpacking logstash (1:5.1.1-1) over (1:5.1.1-1) ...`

You can verify by running:  
`dpkg -l logstash`  
If you see something like:

```
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-==============-============-============-=================================
ii logstash 1:5.1.1-1 all An extensible logging pipeline

```

it was installed successfully.

The D-Bus error is not related to Logstash. Are you installing in Docker or some other container?  
The error seems to be a common error there.
